Hallo Mark,

you don't need a reference, just common sense is sufficient enough to 
understand the problem.
Just remind your self that a problem on any device (disk, tape) can cause a bus 
reset and that a tape drive will rewind the tape because of that.

Bye
Ernie

Folks,

Does anyone have a reference which details Microsoft's support position
with regards to mixing tape & disk traffic on the same HBA in a fibre
channel configuration?

I'm well aware that this is a bad idea and that there are rumours that
Microsoft won't support a configuration of this type but I've never seen
anything in black-and-white which backs this up. I've seen the equivalent
from IBM and HP but would like to see Microsoft's statement if anyone has
a reference to it!

Cheers

Mark
